Effective Time Management

“Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize and repeat, over and over, is, “what is the most valuable use of my time right now?”
Brian Tracy

You can not relive the past; if you waste your time, then you have lost a valuable opportunity to do something useful with your life. So use your time to the best advantage.

To be able to use your time to the best possible advantage, use time management. Time management is very important and is able to help you meet your work deadlines; besides that, it helps you reach your work goals and, what’s most important, it allows you to have free time for your family and recreation.

Below are some tips for effective time management in your business and work:

1. Determine your business/work objective.
If you don’t have an objective in your work or business, then there are two things that can cause damage. Your business can become misdirected and your time can be wasted. Because of that, the first important step so that you are effective in time management is to determine your business/work objective; your objective will help you in reaching your business goals.

2. Determine your business/work priorities.
Determining what is most important in your business/work is the primary key to being effective in time management. However, people often encounter obstacles in choosing their business/work priorities. Below are some tips for determining priorities:
• what is it necessary to accomplish?
• what produces the maximum results?
• what gives you the greatest joy?
When you determine priorities, you are focused on your business/work, so you can reach your deadlines in a timely manner.

3. Use discipline in your time management.
Effective time management demands discipline. Discipline in time management makes you value time itself; begin this discipline with the smaller things first, such as: discipline your schedule for one entire day; then raise the level of discipline to organize your business/work schedule, and finally, with discipline you are able to reach your business/work objectives.

Don’t spend your time wastefully, but allow yourself to use your time as effectively as possible, so that the time you have is adding value to your life.

KEEPING YOUR INTEGRITY INTACT

here was an advertisement poster on the New York subway with the headline “Use Your Sick Days Wisely” featuring smiling mother and daughter on an amusement park ride.  What message does this ad convey?  Tell your boss that you are sick, and then have a great time with your kids in our amusement park!  The loss of integrity spread from a simple lying about sick days to a giant corporate embezzlements and nationwide corruptions.  For businesses, integrity is not very attractive word, since it may not result in immediate money making.  Yet great leaders are those who have their integrity intact. Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr, Abraham Lincoln, are among those who are known for their integrity.  Integrity is uniquely concerned with individual wholeness and conscience, which is the quality of being true to oneself.  The word integrity in its root relates to integrity and integration, which speak of unity and wholeness.  Although it may not be easy, but in the long term integrity will pay a bountiful price for us: trust from those we lead, reputation, customer loyalty, retention of employees, and quality decision making. 

• Do what you say.  This is a simple and practical definition of integrity.  Keep your promises, meet the deadlines, deliver the product, do your job.  So, give careful considerations before you make any commitments.
• Taking responsibility. The main rule is “Responsibility begins with me.” Stop blaming circumstances or other people as the cause of our problems.  Take your responsibility to either change or accept things that you don’t like that sometimes do happen.
• Living within your means.  Financial integrity requires us to live within our means and refuse excessive spending to create untrue image of ourselves.
• Respect others. Treating others with respect, even when they don’t always please us or live up to our expectations.  Because our standard is subjective, and we can get the best of others when we live in a positive and affirming atmosphere.
• Reflect.  When you do something, ask yourself: “Is this who I am?”
• Define the rules.  Rules and regulations will help you and your people to establish integrity within the organization.
